Capital Markets Room Opens
Monday, February 9th, 2009
Dr. Howard Keen, assistant professor of finance, today became the first instructor to use our new Capital Markets Room (CMR). While it has all the attributes of other “smart” rooms in Alter Hall, the CMR is a smart room in the “round,” with two monitors per work station, two LCD dislays flanking two projection screens which will feature Fox-customized stock information, and a wide range of financial software (Morningstar, Stocktrak, FTS, and Factset). A Bloomberg terminal is available for students in the TECH Center.

Acoustic Panels for Classrooms
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009Workers have begun installing fabric wrapped panels in every classroom. These panels, which serve both aesthetic and acoustical roles, are used for noise reduction and reverberation control. Three colors will be used throughout the building, depending on the color scheme of a particular floor; gray, blue, and green. The room shown below is A 237.
